This 2016 Kona Rove AL gravel bike has been upgraded with fenders and a rear rack to make it an excellent commuter bike for the city, that you could also take on touring, gravel and bikepacking adventures.
Kona describes their Kona Rove AL 700 as "what you’ve come to love as the dependable go-anywhere steed. Perhaps you’re gravel-curious, but not quite sure of how often you’ll really want to push your limits off the paved road. That, my friend, is what the Rove AL 700 is here for. It’s the road biker’s gravel/touring/do-it-all steed. It provides everything you need for a fast, comfortable ride and nothing you don’t. It’s the perfect bike for commuting, partaking in weekend warrior adventures, or diving deeper into longer tours."
This bike was recently tuned up (July 2025 by Chris) and is ready for test rides!
